Brightline and Mears have announced a new partnership which will give travelers another way to get to Walt Disney World Resort. The new partnership will allow people connections from the Brightline Orlando Station and various locations in Orlando, including Walt Disney World Resort.
Mears Transportation will be connected to the Brightline door-to-door booking service called Brightline+. This is available via mobile app and also its website. This lets guests plan and book their trip with one transaction. Brightline travelers can also reserve a car and get special rates when booking through a preferred partnership with Avis Car Rental.
The Brightline+ Shared Connect Shuttle and Luxury Private Ride is powered by Mears. It will allos guests to reserve transportation from the Orlando International Airport’s Brightline train station. Reservations will be able to be made during the booking process or by modifying a trip closer to travel dates begining on October 4th. Once a guest has booked with Brightline+, they will get a reservation confirmation directly from Mears that has their travel instructions. This includes driver details, the pickup location, and also vehicle identifiers.
“Last mile connectivity is an integral piece of the travel experience for our guests. Mears is the respected transportation leader in central Florida and will be a valuable partner delivering our Brightline+ service in Orlando,” said Michael Lefevre, vice president of operations for Brightline. “Mears Transportation is familiar to Orlando travelers and a brand that aligns seamlessly with the level of hospitality our guests know and love.”
“As an Orlando based company, we are excited to welcome Brightline to Orlando and the Brightline guests traveling to and from the Orlando Station,” said Rebecca K Horton, COO, Mears Transportation Group. “What a great addition to the Orlando area, connecting people between south and central Florida. Brightline guests will have the opportunity to use Mears Luxury & Mears Connect services, pending their destination. We are grateful for the partnership with Brightline and our team is eager to get started.”
